Steam Winter Sale is due today, I believe?

My little home server is an ancient machine, using platter drives. It also sits next to me on a filing cabinet. Yesterday, friends on Discord said they could hear a "clicking noise" on my mic which turned out to be the hard drives doing their hard drive thing.

I might need to move my home hosting empire back into the cloud. I'm not sure it's a Good Sign that the machine is making sounds loud enough to hear on the mic from across the room.

Substance Painter on Steam got a stealth "update" to 2024 edition, but WOTS says there's really nothing new. Plus the "intro" price is the price that the 2023 version left with. Supposedly the price will increase by $25 in 2024 : /

I have used SP with great success in the past and I find it easier to work with (for some reason) than Mixer, but Mixer is free so I have a decision to make: Get SP 2024 (spsdly with free updates during 2024) at the discount price, or stick with Mixer.

Oh, Not This Again! Stuff About Streaming

It's true: I have solved some technical issue which has opened the potential for live streaming. But why? I DON'T KNOW, MARGO.

Once More, With Feeling

Well, I screwed up. Learn from my mistakes, folks, and back up your stuff.

So I resubbed to WoW because it's splashed all over the GFN homepage, but I'm installing it locally anyway because I got up to handle something and when I came back I was logged out of my GFN session. That plus having to always look up my password every time I wanted to play was really not any more convenient than just having it installed on my machine.

Hey folks, can I get a hand here?

My daughter has to do a project whereby she collects art depicting historical art (pre 1950) regarding LGBTQ+. It can be pro or anti, or simply examples of LGBTQ+ EXISTING.

Boosts appreciated for range.

Well, server is back up and running, but the blog is officially dead. I HAD backups but can't find them for some damned reason.

So I guess I'm starting over. It's not the first time but I'll be damned if it's not the last.

I recently got an ultrawide monitor and that's cool, but my screenshot app doesn't work UW monitors, so that's not so cool. I am relying on Windows Snipping tool for screenshots, but that's...sad.

I hate to say it, but Secrets of the Obscure is probably my least favorite GW2 expansion. The "you need to use the griffon everywhere" schtick is infuriating me right now.

All my stuff is there, and now I learned something about mounting drives and rebooting. Sadly, I had to remove Docker, so I guess I need to get that back now.

Style-sheets Versus Styled Components
I had a panic attack about styled components versus plain CSS, but after writing about it, I'm not sure it was warranted.
